It’s turning out to be a bumper year for beauty buffs, with tons of new brands cropping up, and lots of long-awaited international launches finally landing on our shores.
But which are worth a spot in your daily routine? From much-hyped make-up and skincare essentials, to swoon-worthy perfume and hair heroes, we’ve sussed out collections and products that are destined for cult status.
Meet the new kids on the beauty block…
Rare Beauty is all about dewy, glowy skin. American fans have been raving about the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, which comes in eight shades. Gomez says her fave is coral-toned Joy.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Joy, £19, Space NK
For all your blow-drying and hair-styling needs, we love the pink and purple brush and comb set.
Rawr Beauty Detangling Hair Brush Set in Pink, £18
Mariya Nurislamova, founder of American subscription service Scentbird, decided to create her own unisex perfume range, because she was bored of smelling the same old notes in mass-market scents.
Now available in the UK for the first time, Confessions of a Rebel is aimed at fragrance fans who want something a bit different. With wonderfully different (and sometimes sweary) names, these attention-grabbing juices are joyfully unconventional.
Confessions of a Rebel About Last Night Eau de Parfum, £97.03
Much-loved make-up brand 17 was discontinued a few years ago, but now it’s back with a whole new attitude.
Featuring a huge line-up of budget-friendly, youth-focused products (prices start at £2), the revamped range includes shimmery eyeshadows and bold lip glosses, as well as skin- and brow-perfecting essentials.
17 Brow + Lash Lamination Clear Mascara, £2.50, Boots (available February 17)
Not just for tan-aholics, the debut 12-piece collection has everything you need to cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise and protect your skin.
Bondi Sands Everyday Skincare Daydream Whipped Moisturiser, £9.99
With aesthetically pleasing packaging and formulas designed to protect against stressors, Goodhabit is targeted at the new generation of ‘skintellectuals’, who know what they want from their skincare.
Powered by bakuchiol (a gentler alternative to retinol), the Rest + Reset Mask provides intense hydration, and protects against blue light from digital screens.
Goodhabit Rest + Reset Mask & Moisturizer, £33.74
For a quick skin fix, the Hydrating & Firming sheet mask drenches your skin with hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory extracts.
Dermanda Hydrating & Firming Face Mask, £15
The eco-friendly brand also has a fantastic body range, which includes gorgeously scented natural deodorants and hand creams, all housed in minimalist, sustainable packaging.
Evolve Together Havana Natural Deodorant, £20
